strawberry rhubarb pie

words can't really describe my love for this pie. I mean, ok... I admit I did originally say to myself, "wow, this is tart. it needs more sugar." but now that it's gone, I keep saying to myself "wow, that pie was amazing."

growing up in Florida I don't ever remember rhubarb being a big deal at the markets. I'm not sure I'd ever even seen it before I moved out to Oregon. when preparing this pie I couldn't help but think that it was going to be like having a bunch of celery mixed with berries and sugar. I guess I was a little intimidated by it. but with each taste, my love for that bright red stalk grew. as did my satisfied belly.

Mmmm, that looks absolutely delicious! I have to make this some time soon... Rhubarb and strawberry pie is my favourite too! Tried your pear pie the other day which was really tasty. Thanks for sharing :)

Ah, this is such a nostalgic pie for me. right up their with blackberry cobbler. Spring and summer= pie season! yay!

Also, wanted to tell you that I took your vanilla pear pie recipe and turned it into a vanilla pear crisp! It was amazing. Though I tried to buy cardamon and it was $15 a bottle, so I left that out. yikes.
